RE: ADSactly Mystery: Vampire Burials

in #history5 years ago

Very interesting this post, @ladyrebecca. I didn't know about this antivampire practice. The images are terrifying to me and to imagine that there are still people doing things like these, seems unreal. In some Venezuelan villages, especially those with a very strong African influence, there are still rituals to bury the dead. In fact, I remember reading at one time that some people dance to the dead, and give them drink and food, as a last action and as a farewell. A little strange! Greetings

I was very surprised, too, to discover this practice of putting a stone in the mouth of the dead... I was probably under the influence of movies, which generally show the trick with a pole, not to mention garlic and the cross.
